Proverbs 14: (ASV)
|
1) Every wise woman buildeth her house; But the foolish plucketh it down with her own hands.
|
2) He that walketh in his uprightness feareth Jehovah; But he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.
|
3) In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
|
4) Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; But much increase is by the strength of the ox.
|
5) A faithful witness will not lie; But a false witness uttereth lies.
|
6) A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not; But knowledge is easy unto him that hath understanding.
|
7) Go into the presence of a foolish man, And thou shalt not perceive in him the lips of knowledge.
|
8) The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way; But the folly of fools is deceit.
|
9) A trespass-offering mocketh fools; But among the upright there is good will.
|
10) The heart knoweth its own bitterness; And a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy.
|
11) The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; But the tent of the upright shall flourish.
|
12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.
|
13) Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; And the end of mirth is heaviness.
|
14) The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
|
15) The simple believeth every word; But the prudent man looketh well to his going.
|
16) A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.
|
17) He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; And a man of wicked devices is hated.
|
18) The simple inherit folly; But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
|
19) The evil bow down before the good; And the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.
|
20) The poor is hated even of his own neighbor; But the rich hath many friends.
|
21) He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth; But he that hath pity on the poor, happy is he.
|
22) Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
|
23) In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
|
24) The crown of the wise is their riches; But the folly of fools is only folly.
|
25) A true witness delivereth souls; But he that uttereth lies causeth deceit.
|
26) In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence; And his children shall have a place of refuge.
|
27) The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death.
|
28) In the multitude of people is the king's glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
|
29) He that is slow to anger is of great understanding; But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
|
30) A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; But envy is the rottenness of the bones.
|
31) He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; But he that hath mercy on the needy honoreth him.
|
32) The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing; But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.
|
33) Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But that which is in the inward part of fools is made known.
|
34) Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.
|
35) The king's favor is toward a servant that dealeth wisely; But his wrath will be against him that causeth shame.
